Description

BACKGROUND

Project title
:
Defining the effects of preventive tamoxifen on the high-risk breast microenvironment

This project is funded by Prevent Breast Cancer and will be undertaken with the Manchester Breast Centre and Wellcome Centre for Cell Matrix Biology.

This project will underpin a larger project to correlate changes in tissue composition with breast imaging data to allow us to better identify those women that will respond to preventive tamoxifen and identify the differences in women that do not.

The key role of this job is to perform LCM-MS and imaging cytometry on breast biopsies. This will involve tissue sectioning, sample preparation, antibody staining and data acquisition.

You will be working as part of a team including PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, and will be expected to train others as well as participate in joint meetings, present data, and contribute to preparation of publications.

As an equal opportunities employer we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status.
